Stroll and sit with
Don Herlihy and Barry Moloney to enjoy a colourful story
of Kinsale down the ages from Medieval walled town to
the sinking of the Lusitania. Strategic naval base
during the conflict for New World treasure when a pound
of cloves fetched two head of cattle and the island of
Manhattan was once swapped for a tiny one of nutmeg!

Beachhead for the last Spanish Armada leading to The
Battle of Kinsale in 1601. Star Forts stronghold
described by Charles II as 'a place of Great resort for
His Majesty's ships of War'.

Sailing port for Dampier and Robinson Crusoe and such a
hub for fleets as to lead one 17th c. observer to
describe Kinsale as 'laying in the road of the Chieftest
trade in all the Worlde'.
